C# UI + API Test Automation Framework

Modern Test Automation Framework built with C# (.NET 8) — combining Selenium WebDriver for UI testing, RestSharp for API testing, and Reqnroll (SpecFlow-style) for BDD scenarios. Enhanced with Allure Reporting and fully integrated into GitHub Actions CI/CD.

🚀 Getting Started

🧩 Prerequisites

• .NET SDK 8.0+

• Chrome / Edge / Firefox browser

• Allure Commandline Install globally:

  npm install -g allure-commandline

---

▶️ Run Tests

You can execute tests from the root or specific project level.

# Run all tests
dotnet test

# Run specific projects
dotnet test UI_Automation/UI_Automation.csproj
dotnet test API_Automation/API_Automation.csproj

# Run by category/tag (e.g. Smoke)
dotnet test --filter "Category=Smoke"

💡 Tip: Add --logger "trx;LogFileName=test_results.trx" to export TRX reports for CI/CD pipelines.

---

📊 Allure Report

After running tests, Allure result files are generated in the allure-results/ folder. You can generate and open the HTML report locally with:

allure generate allure-results --clean -o allure-report
allure open allure-report

⚠️ Make sure the input folder is allure-results, not allure-report.

Allure integration notes:

• Allure.Reqnroll automatically attaches scenario metadata and screenshots.
• Reports include: Feature → Scenario → Steps → Attachments → Logs.
• Works seamlessly with GitHub Actions for artifact uploads.

---

💡 Highlights

• Unified UI & API automation layers
• Page Object Model (POM) for clean, maintainable UI tests
• Reqnroll Hooks for driver, context, and test lifecycle management
• Integrated Allure.Reqnroll for rich BDD reporting
• Supports test categorization (Smoke, Regression, UI, API)
• GitHub Actions pipeline for continuous testing and reporting

🔄 CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions pipeline automatically:

• Builds and tests both UI + API layers
• Generates Allure, TRX, and optional HTML reports
• Uploads them as GitHub Action artifacts for download

Workflow file: .github/workflows/automation-tests.yml

Example snippet from workflow:

- name: Run Tests
  run: dotnet test --logger "trx;LogFileName=test_results.trx"

- name: Generate Allure Report
  run: |
    allure generate allure-results --clean -o allure-report
    allure open allure-report
